The History Channel: How TV Was Invented

[randomtwit]

Americans didnt invent TV .. They just made it UNWATCHABLe

:D

[EPS5000]

You have some facts wrong, you said the first TV was from 1930, but there were forms of TV way before 1930. Do more research.

[lolfaces37]

Paul Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromech. television system in 1884. The earliest version of the CRT was invented by the German physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1897 and is also known as the Braun tube.

Baird was the television pioneer however.

The Germans have invented everything else, the scots can have this.

Car and combustion engine - Karl Benz

First flight - Karl Jatho

First telephone - Johan Philip Reis

First computer - Konrad Zuse

V2 sub-orbital spaceflight - Wernher von Braun

[midnightmoses100]

@lolfaces37 Scots invented to many things to list but some are adhesive postage stamps, anaesthetics, antisepsis, reaping machine,

Bank of England, latent heat Brownian movement, Buicks, chemical bonds , penicillin, , microwave ovens , colloid chemistry, breech-loading rifle ,tubular steel, quinine, pneumatic tyres, the steam engine telephones

the stereotype sulphuric acid the steam-hammer cure for insomnia paraffin

Sherlock Holmes

, and radar to defeat the germans in WW2

[555gypsie]

Tv is my life always been the family i never had ,i am a telly addict sad i know

[rankingtrevor]

Americans say Philo Taylor Farnsworth.

Scots say = John Logie Baird.

Russians say = Vladimir Zworkin

Germans say = Paul Nipkow

Hungarians say = Denys Von Mihaly

TRUTH is no one single person invented television, moreover it was a progressive innovation that was internationally contributed towards over time. The idea one could say cam from way back from the 'telephonoscope' in 1878.

[TheGer88]

tv color is ing. gonzales camarena invented.

[DeadIslandTrailers]

poor guys, if only they would see the TVs and computers of today.

AH this makes me wonder of the new inventions of the FUTURE....200 years from now, what will we be missing out on?

[twinrali99]

wasn't the inventor of the television Philo T. Farnsworth?

[TheChannel13tv]

@twinrali99 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J.L. baird

[twinrali99]

@TheChannel13tv

then what was philo t. farnsworth famous for?

[TheChannel13tv]

@twinrali99 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J.L. baird

[ADXYMOX7]

You Europeans with your mechanical TV's.... The Chinese invented the calculator but they are not credited with inventing the computer are they????

[chrisman737]

Sudanese invention!

Okay, maybe not, but I just wanted to join the debate.

[20mik07]

@YARROWS No scottish invention fact

[seatboi]

INTERESTING! Just wish the sound didn't sound like it was coming thru a pipe!

[YARROWS]

BRITISH INVENTION- FACT

[martbd]

John Logie Baird is honoured in Australia with their annual TV awards having being naming in his honour.

[andrewbaird08]

i want to know if this guy is related to me in some how?

[stevekosareff]

I have a related video on YouTube you might be interested in about how television sets were sold from the 1950s-1970s entitled, "TV MAN: THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST INDEPENDENT DEALER."

[devestationn]

I live in the town of hastings, where john made the t.v.

[ev7000000]

actually the first modern car was invented by Karl Benz and he was german. just an fyi.

[TheSpicyBananas]

great britain invented the tv and the the first car.

[bigbillbob88]

scottish haha fuk america

[Abominatrix650]

Does anyone know wen the TV was first made? I'm in a bit of a hurry

[Radiolympia]

Fascinating, but little was said about television from Alexandra Palace being HD.

[nessquik95]

Im trying to look for a video of when television was first aired and the news guy said "welcome to televison"

and then the other one for when they had a limited time for tv and like at night a kangaroo or something would come on going to bed and the tv would then go fuzzy... you know??

hard to explain but i need for assignment IST.

[BobWXXI]

Electronic TV actually owes its origins to a series of developments, beginning with the work of Vladimir Zworykin at RCA Laboratories in 1923, and advanced further in the 1920s and 1930s by the work of Philo Farnsworth (who in turn influenced EMI, the higher-resolution 525-line RCA/NTSC system adopted in the US in 1939-41, and the modern color TV system developed by RCA in 1953.

Farnsworth may deserve more credit than anyone else for modern analog TV but it was no one person's sole creation.

[celebration81]

It's simple lie. Hungarian Kálmán tihanyi invented the electronic TV.

UNESCO (United Nations) international patent offices and Nobel comitee created the award: Memeory of the World. Memory of the world considered Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi as the first inventor of electronic TV. Tihanyi was the only inventor, who could create good quality pictures in the 1920's. Farnsworth and other american inventors created bad quality laughable TV-systems.

[celebration81]

Sorry , he was not the inventor of electronic television. Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi invented the electronic tv in 1926. UNESCO WORLD HERRITAGE Check it!

[ghostguy2k7]

A photo-mechanical device invented by John Logie Baird in 1922. He set up the first practical television system in the world in 1929, in Britain. In 1935 Baird worked with the German company, Fernseh, to start the world's first 3-day per week television service.

In 1908, another Scot, Alan Campbell-Swinton, outlined the use of the cathode-ray tube for transmission and reception that is used in modern television. This method replaced Baird's in the 1930's.

[celebration81]

Braid system is very late. Crap mechanic system. His idea was backward in 1828 yet. Learn more History. United nations considered Kálmán Tihanyi as the inventor of fully electronic TV system in 1924.

[JettRink50]

Philo Farnsworth invented the television and

continued to work on it predicting HDTV,

digital tv and all kinds of improvements, he was

a genius.

[celebration81]

simple lie. Kálmán tihanyi invented the electronic TV in 1926

[Pupula56]

@celebration81 AHHH im tired of this Philo Farnsworth invented the first working electronic TV. my classmate uncle is Philo Farnsworth SO I SHOULD KNOW PHILO INVENTED IT .

[celebration81]

It's only an american belief :)

[lunaleaf]

Thats impossible sorry he died in the 1940's

If he was his uncle, he must got HELD BACK a long time

[Pupula56]

@lunaleaf  dude HE DIED IN THE 1960'S

[lunaleaf]

Still

[WICKEDMAN85]

@Pupula56 Well history says John Logie Baird was first so tough luck but Farnsworth made a lasting impression on Television!!!

[midnightmoses100]

@Pupula56 Sorry you are wrong

[B4GR3]

it is true that it was a mexican the one who created color t.v. of course on the u.s., but was he really a mexican taken to the u.s.? or i heard wrong

[cpswarrior]

It is ALL impossible without TESLA.

He is owed thanks to EVERYTHING we love today.

[midnightmoses100]

@cpswarrior Tesla could have done nothing without the work done by another Scotsman, James Clerk Maxwell.

[calif92627]

How can a bigtime operation like the history channel produce such crap. When I shot vdieo for a smalltime operation and something like that slow frame rate came along I would slow down the electric shutter rate. Even a canon XL1 with the shutter set for 1/15 would have showed the mechanical picture without cutting a big part out.

[kaboom6899]

@calif92627 well it was uploaded in 2007, and it probably looked better on television

[calif92627]

@kaboom6899 More likely the same sort of carelessness and lack of detail that gave us a fighter plane with an eight cilender radial engine and a WW2 battle ship with a fifty star flag.

[RyuDarragh]

Baird was inspired by the Kinetoscope which used a wheel with slots to make still images look like they were moving. This led Edison to invent motion picture films and Baird to invent television. EMI used Hugo Farnsworths all electronic system for their system.

[naturalnurse23]

Does anyone know hoe Baird got his inspiration?

He was cnanneling spirits. We don't have cable in our home. Period!

Watch The Ether.

[abatty1234]

From what I gather, John Logie Baird developed the idea for transmitting images using moving discs, already patented by Paul Nipkow in 1888.

[hornybodhisattva]

stop drinking the coolaid!

[calzy27]

yeah- JOHN LOGIE BAIRD- SCOTTISH PERSON

[BIKabballa]

That old dude is such an annoying ass.

[MegaBrits]

Does he make you feel stupid and inferior?

[hilarioph]

Do you know television

was the 1st sci-fi series

ever on BBC? You guest it

is Doctor who on 1964.

Then BBC plan so many

sci-fi series when is

in black in white

[MegaBrits]

And has the best Sci-Fi tune ever written and still spooky today (original was way best).

BBC Radio workshop = The Bletchley park of music - LOL.

[guitar87tommy]

cool

[televisionbb]

Yes, Baird made television work, but the invention was made by Paul Nipkow from germany. German Patent D.R.P. Nr. 30105 from january 6. 1884 showing the Nipkow-scanner.

[calzy27]

yeah, but still, baird did have a lot to do with it

[televisionbb]

No doubt about it - Baird was the first to achieve true television - the credit goes to him alone.

[hilarioph]

Wish you going to have

the history of japan tv

so that they know about

japan tv

[kingston0708]

scottish invention

[calzy27]

correct.

[abatty1234]

Strictly speaking, a German invention. Paul Nipkow patented the idea in 1888.

[laurdy]

i think he came up with it christmas eve 1885

[FergusonMBE]

@abatty1234 Very good did he invent one though? Nah

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@abatty1234

he patented it but he didn't invent it & lost the patent 20 years later..

Scot's invnented the tv Alexander Bain, Campbell Swinton & Logie Baird

[LordGeorgeRodney]

@LordGeorgeRodney Willoughby Smith a Brit! 

[purple2567]

@abatty1234 no lol, he gave the idea but didn't invent it, that's like me saying there should be floating cars but someone else invents it -_-

[pluto4847]

@kingston0708

Yes and no. There was this 14 year old Mormon Boy who thought of the idea before Logie Baird.

[matty5]

guess not only the history channel then rofl. But still amazing, it inspries me, i so wana make a tv like this from scratch! They say Baird made the first one from a few bits and bobs in the conor!

[garysvids]

If it helps, Baird used an old hat box as the rotating scanner. Good luck.

[calzy27]

i used an old pie box and ate it wtf

[UKSFSG]

Another British invention, Rule Britania

[cyranosnose]

Adulterated British view to technical history. Other countries worked at television at the same time or had just a better technical standards.
